I would like to dedicate this effort to Ray Hecht…
… who, in a comic of his own, once asked the question “Is there anything so utterly useless as one solitary chopstick?” Why does this always happen to me?

Friendly Chat
Little Monster Girl invited me to join her Friendly Chat this week. There are four questions and these are my answers:
Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I don’t have sheets, I have a duvet, which wakes up once I am asleep and moves itself randomly around the bed into weird positions. Either that or my partner is trying to freeze/suffocate me to death in the night. There is also my aging cat, who is too old to leap now so he hauls himself up onto the duvet by using his claws as crampons.
Have you stolen a street sign before?
Let me think. No. How do you even do that? Where I live they are usually cemented into the ground. I would need some sort of industrial machinery, surely?
Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
I don’t cut them out but I do receive them through the post. As a general rule I put them somewhere safe and throw them away about two years later. If I do actually use them I consider myself to be overdue for a knighthood for services to humanity.
Do you have freckles?
Yes but they are moles and ‘beauty spots’ and they are all over my body. What do you mean, this doesn’t count? Okay, no then.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I am grateful that all the things I worried about last week never turned out to be worth worrying about in the end. In the coming week I am looking forward to a cake and culture afternoon I have planned with a friend I have not seen for a criminally long time. Though I am worried that there may not be cake.
